Vampire Summoner's Rebirth: Summoning The Vampire Queen At The Start

? "Lady Cassandra, we have a few words to share with you."

"…What?!"

Ellergest opened the door without asking for her permission, quickly surprising her.

SLAM!

The doors opened wide by the strength of Ellergest, as the woman inside greeted our sight with a terrified expression on her face. She was a woman seemingly in her early 30's. The woman was Cassandra, Lord Markus First Concubine, and the one that forced Gabriela to drink the blood and become cursed. Also gave the poisonous blood to Treebark every so often through her daily cup of wine, slowly poisoning her until the state she was in just a few minutes ago.

"Y-You! Who are you?! Ah…! The priest! Priest or not, you don't have the authority to enter the room of a noble! I can use my connections and the influence of my husband to take you away from your position, even as a Head Priest!" She roared angrily, standing up from her chair in front of a desk where she had a lot of piled up papers. She was wearing a red dress with various frills, and her long red hair and sharp green eyes made her look like someone of noble origin, indeed.

"Lady Cassandra Copperhand, you're guilty of having used Demon Parts through vile means and attempted the assassination of another noble, Lady Treebark, alongside forcing this innocent child, Gabriela, into obeying your vile means through extortion and the usage of Demon Sorcery!" Ellergest hit the ground with his staff, making the entire place become illuminated with a bright light.

"Uugh…! W-What are you even talking about?! I didn't do anything like that! They're clearly lying! That bitch of Treebark has always been trying to get more attention from my Lord, she probably wants to get rid of me by framing me! That girl…!" Muttered Cassandra. "Gabriela, I never expected you to betray me! I guess you're really siding with her, huh?! I never did anything like you're saying, I can't believe you're… such a vile little whore!"

Cassandra began to grow more angered, frustrated, and fearful; her entire aura of emotions went from purple to blue to pale azure in colors, showing that she was saving up many emotions and lying, she was pretending to be impacted and feeling betrayed, and was shamelessly bashing everything at her two victims.

"Y-You're lying, Lady Cassandra, please confess your crimes! You're a noble so you won't be punished as much as long as you do!" Cried Gabriela, imploring her master to be honest.

"W-What?! You dare set me up like this, you little whore?!" Roared Cassandra, as she suddenly grabbed a knife she had nearby and pointed it at us. Suddenly, her aura began to come from within her body, a dark-red aura, and then from within, the figure of something humanoid emerged, made of this dark and red energies… Is this demonic energy? But it's also a spirit…

Cassandra infused her knife with this energy, shamelessly firing it towards Gabriela to kill her in the spot. A noble killing a servant is not a surprising sight, they often kill their servants when they are angered or do something unforgivable, they're nothing less than products to them, items they can discard and replace, killing one is often not even punished, even though murder is a crime in this land, it can be easily paid a fee to evade going to prison, Nobles have many privileges above commoners. A murderer commoner would probably get their head chopped off in the guillotine if caught.

"Uwah!" Gabriela cried, as she tried to shield herself using her spirit, a small creature emerged from within her chest, resembling a floating puffball, there was no other way to describe it, it was pink-colored and had big green eyes, but that thing won't defend her well.

I moved swiftly to help her for now, I wouldn't want her to die. I unleashed a projectile of darkness, gathering it in one place and firing a Darkness Bullet towards the knife, which blocked it in midair and sent it flying, getting stuck in the ceiling.

CLASH!

"W-What…? A mere child has such magic power…" She muttered, glaring hatefully at me.

"You witch! You dare attack us after finding out your crimes? We could have speak this rationally but you decided to step ahead of your own boundaries… Noble or not, a criminal is a criminal!" Roared Ellergest, it seemed as if aside from this entire ordeal, he really had some sort of resentment against nobles, which fueled his motivation to catch this woman and bring her to justice.

"It is obvious you did it now that you attacked us." I said. "And what's with your aura? it reeks like that of a demon… You're using demon parts to enhance your spirit or something?" I wondered. I had heard about the power of "upgrading" spirits by fusing them with materials, but that's incredibly costly and it can only be done once per spirit… Could she had used demon body parts to enhance her spirit and acquire demon magic? Is this possible in this world?

"Tch! You two inept men don't understand a thing about being a woman! All the hardships that come with it, it took me so long to become a noble concubine… I even gave him an heir! But out of nowhere he got this Treebark woman. He constantly praises her and only has eyes for her! She pretends to be so nice and gentle, but she's just a bitch! She gave him another male heir and is trying to take away my place as his concubine! D-Do you think I won't feel insulted?! I am being replaced… No, even Lady Charlotte is being replaced by now…!" Muttered the woman. "H-How can… he forget about our love so easily?! Unforgivable! I just decided to take away everything he loves now, so he can love me again!"

Incredible, she quickly realized she had no other options than to just speak her mind out. It seems she's completely insane. And jealous too. I suppose… women are quite frightening when you put them like that.
